Four ways a garage door can open

We supply products from all the leading manufacturers at competitive prices, complete with full manufacturers warranties. ADL source doors direct from only the top garage door manufacturers, including Garador and Hormann, and works can be carried out to new or existing doors and equipment.

Not sure which suits your garage? We will come out for a free, no obligation quotation.

Up and Over garage doors

The most popular and common style of garage door, called up and over because of the way the door retracts into your garage. It comes in two types, canopy and retractable.

Canopy
Rollers run vertically on the door posts with a large spring across the top. When fully open the door does not retract all the way in, but leaves a section creating a canopy in the front of the garage. No horizontal runners into the garage.
Retractable
Normally runs on tracks under the ceiling of the garage, with large springs on both sides. When fully open the door retracts all the way into the garage.

Sectional garage doors

Made up from separate sections rather than one single panel, for exceptionally smooth operation both manually and when electrically operated. Sectional doors open vertically and are suspended under the ceiling to save space, so you can make full use of the space inside and in front of the garage for parking.

Sealed on all four sides
The only door to offer a flexible and weather resistant seal on all four sides to keep out the wind and rain, with insulation from single skin to 42mm thick thermal insulation.
Ten year warranty
All of our sectional garage doors are covered with a comprehensive ten year warranty. Choose from an array of colours, textures, window options and accessories.

Roller garage doors

Often the popular choice for security, style and ease of use. The door operates vertically, allowing for 'park close' convenience inside and out, and gives maximum drive through width and height compared with a conventional up and over door and frame.

Made to measure
All the Roller doors are made to measure, so the door fits garages of all shapes and sizes. Insulated, in a vast array of colours.
Manual or automatic
Spring assisted operation in the manual version. Radio controlled doors come with bottom rail safety edges, an internal wall unit with courtesy light and manual override. The AlluGuard range adds a wireless wall switch, an anti-vandal key pad and a compact handset.

Side Hinged garage doors

An outward opening garage door that can ease pedestrian access into your garage.

When nothing else fits
In some cases it can be the only option, if a gas meter, soil pipe or some other type of internal obstruction is present and is not able to be relocated.
Can be automated
Side hinged doors can be automated with the overhead type door operator and special side hung door adapter arms.

Automatic garage door openers

Opening your garage door from your car is not only easy, it's safe too. At the touch of a button, the automatic operator opens the garage door and lights the garage interior. You drive into the garage and the door can then be closed behind you. All without leaving the safety and comfort of your car!

  • Two handsets as standard

    All Garador and Hormann operators come as standard with two hand transmitters. For additional safety and security, hand transmitters select a code from more than 1 billion possibilities.

  • Door security device

    To prevent your garage door from being forced open, all our operators feature a security device which engages in the mechanism's boom on closing. It remains fully functional even during a power failure.

  • No Trap Risk

    If obstructed, the automatic cut-out halts the closing door and automatically raises it about 30cms. This safety mechanism is self-adjusting and self-testing.

  • Universal fitting

    All Garador and Hormann Up & Over and Sectional doors are compatible with the Garamatic and Hormann operators. Wall consoles, switches, push buttons and extra hand transmitters are available too.

Works can be carried out to new or existing doors and equipment.

“I have used ADL several times over the past 11 years and I cannot speak highly enough of them, not only is there work of the highest standard but they have also helped me out when there has been no financial benefit to them. Customer Service is first class and Deb could not be more helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate in recommending them. Thank you ADL.”
“Great company to deal with. Good communication all the way through the project. Excellent garage doors. A team of 4 fitted our 2 Hormann doors and could not fault the job done. They do like a few cups of tea though!!!”
